 CMS Matrix 
http://www.cmswatch.com/
 Excellent comparison tool. You can view a single listing or select up
to 10 content management tools to compare at once. A large range of
features are compared. 
The ones you want are...
* Internationalization 
* Sub-sites / Roots

CMS Watch
http://www.cmswatch.com/
These CMS consultants focus mainly on high-end enteprise CMS for
companies. Their website has a top 40 list of CMS products, but this
only links to news stories (rather than reviews or analysis). Publish
the CMS Report, an objective, in-depth analysis of web content
management - a very expensive report. 

You can try out all the open source PHP/MySQL CMS before you install
at:
http://www.opensourcecms.com 

or check out the international association for Open Source Content
Management:

This massive list presents a overview of content management systems
produced by an independent Dutch consultancy agency called Hartman
Communicatie BV who strive to be vendor-neutral and have no commercial
intentions. Suppliers are responsible for the update of their product
specifications. Also has links to product homepages.

Content Management System Comparison is an excellent product comparison
table, although only covering 5 products and somewhat simplistic in the
reviews.

http://www.cms-list.org/about 
CMS-List is a long-standing and respected mailing list for CMS
professionals. You can browse or search the archives.

Another comparison table of content management systems
Covers 13 different CMS products, but could be biased because it is
produced by the makers of one of the software products.

Content Management Systems - a good report on CMS for the UK education
sector.
